While there is a consensus to perform pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as a cornerstone for the ablation of paroxysmal and persistent AF ablation, different additional ablation strategies are used to achieve a modification of the substrate that perpetuates the arrhythmia: linear lesions (anterior and roof lines) or ablation of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAE). In the stepwise approach PVI, CFAE ablation and/or LL are combined according to the presenting arrhythmia during procedure.
